It makes use of all the manditory things in a drivetrain like the gearboxes and axles for structural support but uses its bumpers (which don't count towards the robot weight) as the "meat" of the frame providing almost all of the stiffness.
I attached a .pdf to better explain it. I just didn't want anyone looking at it to get the wrong idea.
